Robotic odor localization has become a prominent research area in recent years. It promises
many valuable practical applications, and contributes to the knowledge of biological odor …

Vector control and personal protection against anthropophilic mosquitoes mainly rely on the
use of insecticides and repellents. The search for mosquito-attractive semiochemicals has …

Multiple sensory cues emanating from humans are thought to guide blood-feeding female
mosquitoes to a host. To determine the relative contribution of carbon dioxide (CO 2) …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a ubiquitous sensory cue that plays multiple roles in insect
behavior. In recent years understanding of the well-known role of CO2 in foraging by …

Insect olfactory orientation along odour plumes has been studied intensively with respect to
pheromonal communication, whereas little knowledge is available on how plant odour …

Female mosquitoes that transmit deadly diseases locate human hosts by detecting exhaled
CO 2 and skin odor. The identities of olfactory neurons and receptors required for attraction …

Behavioural responses of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to ammonia were investigated in a
modified Y-tube olfactometer. Ammonia was attractive in concentrations from 17 ppb to 17 …

Many motile organisms localize the source of attractive odorants by following plumes
upwind. In the case of D. melanogaster, little is known of how individuals alter their flight …

Vegetation complexity is characterized by two major traits, ie, plant chemical and plant
structural complexity. Plant species diversity strongly determines these traits. Furthermore …

Using a dual‐choice olfactometer, the role of l‐lactic acid was investigated in relation to host‐
seeking and selection by female Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) …
